Structured and Systematic Reading Comprehension
On September 23, Dr. Kausalai (Kay) Wijekumar, Leader of Literacy.IO and Director of the Center for Urban School Partnerships, discussed the Knowledge Acquisition and Transformation (KAT) Framework, a remarkably successful strategy for teaching reading comprehension.
Kay, a distinguished researcher and scholar, is Houston Endowment Chair and Chancellor's EDGES Fellow at Texas A&M University. She is a passionate advocate for all children, dedicating her research, development, and dissemination efforts to eradicating illiteracy. She co-authoredThe Joy of Reading: Instructional Guide For Transforming Comprehension, a nine-book series.
The webinar supported elementary principals, teachers, reading specialists, and coaches, as well as the university professors who train educators for these roles.
